Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Control unit
Operation: Citroen C3 ECU reset

To reset the ECU on Citroen C3 you have to follow an extremely simple procedure. Stop the engine, set the handbrake and remove the key. Open the hood and put on the special support rod. At this point, having identified the control unit (see video), you simply have to disconnect the battery by unscrewing its poles, and then disconnect all three connectors that reach the control unit itself. In this way you will have completely disconnected the aforementioned control unit. Wait a few minutes and plug everything back in. Check that all the car's controls are working properly.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
